Breakfast is amazing, with a-la-carte eggs, and buffet with yogurt parfaits, breads, and other snacks. Beautiful dining room. On-site parking is an authentic local experience, but much appreciated. Staff were really wonderful and helpful. After-hours check in was flawless.

Totally recommended and we will come back to the same place. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast - as I am not fan of English breakfast - I am glad it was more like 'continental' type. Breakfast room - not huge space but come on! It's cozy there. Car park - it is to pe paid separately but at least is monitored and just outside the room. Room for 3 - very spacious, don't remember room number but view is unforgettable!
